We made it to California.

Brooke sure gets excited when you ask her where her belly button is. (From my instagram)

Luckily, flying back and forth to California is pretty easy for us. The airport is super small and less than 10 minutes away.

We all got some reading done, ate a lot of snacks and Brooke played peek-a-book with the kid in the seat behind hers for about half the flight.

We made it to California, had some turkey and avocado sandwiches and then said our goodbyes to the Brooker. Sunday at 4 pm will feel really nice.

My sister wanted to go shopping at Nordstrom Rack and I found the perfect present for Brooke while we were out. A purse dog. She loves both things on their own so the combination of the two will make her so happy.

BANGS FRIEND came and met us for dinner at the Crepevine.

And then we walked next door to our favorite creamery.

Eating ice cream in the car with the heaters on full blast is something we should all do more often.

We are going to do a short run and then head to San Franscico and hopefully ride around in these cars (I have wanted to tour the city in one of these for a very long time).

See ya soon and enjoy every second of your Saturday! Time to sleep in!

Have fun in SF but be careful in those cars. When I lived there, we all hated those little cars because people are in the middle of the road going slow and going up super steep streets that those little things cannot go up! So as long as you dont do those things, you will be fine :-) Should be a gorgeous day in SF today. You should come to the East Bay sometime – Tons to do in Oakland and Berkeley, especially eat!!

Love your plaid shirt! Could you share where its from? Hubs and I did the go cars years ago and it was crazy fun! A bit pricey because we went everywhere but we loved it! We kept going up and down Lombard St!

Love the belly button. My 2 yr. old likes to play freeze tag with his sisters and he pulls up his shirt to shoot them with his “belly ray” to freeze them. He tries doing it in nursery, but the other kids don’t play along.
Have a fun trip.

Sisters, and friends that are like sisters (Bangs) are the best!
Thinking about you, but somehow you and your sister doing San Fran sounds like a great distraction from missing the Brookers this time around. Enjoy being two ladies checking out the city.

Hahahah the dog purse is so cute! I remember having a little dog backpack when I was a child. Do you remember those? Stuffed animal backpacks were so popular and cool for a while hah! Hope you have a fun Saturday!

My sister lives in San Fran and we did the GoCar tours! They are terrifying and fun! If you get stuck on the hills rock your body in the car to give it a little momentum. My sister and I were video taped by a tourist as we were rocking our way up a hill hysterically laughing the whole time! I hope you have as much fun as we did!

What a fun gift for Brooke!! She’ll love it!!
Those cars look like so much fun!!! :)
I’m hoping to be out in California in August for the IDEA World Fitness BlogFest with Sweat Pink!! Post is on my blog!!http://zanetaruns.blogspot.com/2014/01/forget-goals-for-2014-i-have-dream.html
Will you be going to that??
Today I’m working 2 jobs but then I have Monday off so I have a 2 day weekend instead of 1!! WOOOOHOOOO!! :)

Sleeping in and enjoying coffee and donuts was my Saturday morning, and it was glorious! :) It’s nice to just slow down for at least one day a week and just enjoy the morning just as it is. <3 I hope you have so much fun in CA (my home state, to I'm a bit bias, of course) and ohhhh SF. Love that city. You should totally drive those little cars! haha

Macy

Will you be running for Meg today? Something like over 56,000 people have pledged! I believe even Kara posted she ran today to honor her! I thought I would let you know because I am sure you will want to be a part of this. It’s such a tragic story even though I don’t know her. I did a quick 2 miler in 10 min to do my part for a fellow runner.

Monica Lewis

Hope you got her both those purses because she will LOVe them! Glad y’all had a safe flight and that your sister is hanging with you and that you got to see Bang’s friend! Alright-those little cars looks like a blast!! Have fun and before you know it the day will be over!

San Francisco is my favorite city in the world. Hopefully you are enjoying your time there even if emotionally it’s hard. Sunday is already here (at least where I am..), I hope your time without Brooks went by fast.
